We want to sort our horrible, old, mouldy, collapsing kitchen out. Absolute max budget is £4000 including fitting, decoration, appliances, flooring EVERYTHING...am being told that it's not possible to do for £4k and I am stubbornly refusing to believe it.
Anyone know where we could go with such a tight budget?
TIA.

My kitchen in my last house was from ikea. Cost just over 2K for a biggish kitchen and I installed it myself. Bloody hard work but I was spurred on by my neighbour laughing at me saying a little girl like me couldn't fit a kitchen. I bloody did and it looked fab. Considering doing it again.

We fitted an IKEA kitchen for approx £500. It wasn't a huge number of units and it was their 2nd cheapest range of doors and no appliances.

It wasn't particularly hard to do - basic flat pack assembly for the units. We did the worktop ourselves too and if I were to do it over again I'd have got a professional in for that - partly because we didn't have the right tools.

Tbh, unless you want something fancy or have your heart set on a particular look then the components of the kitchen isn't really where the cost is. The state of your floor and walls will all have a bearing on how much it costs to make it look good, and if you pay for fitting then that's most of your budget gone.

What appliances do you need? A new set of white goods, hob/oven leaves you a grand down already.

Hey thanks everyone.

We've gone with bettaliving as they've dropped their original quote down to £2500. Amazing what a bit of saying 'Go away you are too expensive' does!
